I once considered a Bitfenix prodigy, but then I found the build quality to be sub-par TBH. When those little mac-handles flex under the weight of the case when empty, it cant be a good sign. Those handles also make the case needlessly bigger and you loose some of the compact feel because of them.

They're mac-handles cause they're rounded? It does have the "slide to open" feature after you remove the screw... Just no glass.
As an empty case, they don't flex. It's original shape is to have a gap in the middle of the handle for "feet". If it was rounded, or flat it would roll.
If you're looking for a compact feel, ie: shoe box size, a case without compromises is probably not the case for you...
